Here's a hadith from Sahih Bukhari Vol 4:Book of Jihad.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 44:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward)." He replied, "I do not find such a deed." Then he added, "Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battle-field, enter your mosque to perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?" The man said, "But who can do that?" Abu- Huraira added, "The Mujahid (i.e. Muslim fighter) is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders bout (for grazing) tied in a long rope."
And here is the Hadith which I seem to have a problem with is this hadith
"What kind of jihad is better?" The Prophet replied, upon him peace: "A word of truth spoken in front of an oppressive ruler." (Sunan Al-Nasa'i #4209)
I wanna know which context did the prophet say it in, cause when people say it today they seem to use it to slander Qitaal which I find disguesting? Also I have read the evidence that suggests that the whole "Jihad Nafs" being the greater jihad is fabricated so why do so many imams say it?
